It seems to me that if Roberts thought this was a tax, even though the Admin insisted it was not, he should have thrown the law out and told them to re-submit as a tax or change the law so that it was not. He easily could have restrained the Commerce Clause AND thrown the law out, and not been overtly political. I can't help but think Roberts zigged when he should have zagged. This was a mistake. He tried to make the Admin own the legislation as a tax, thereby HE HAD TO uphold the law. If it were me, I would have said this is a tax. Since that was not your intent this law is void and you'll have to re-submit.

If Obama wins in November, there is no next time. At a minimum, we'll have the same court makeup we have now even if Romney wins.

It's a stretch for me to see anything good about losing a supreme court decision today, hoping for a different outcome when the members of the supreme court most likely will be more favorable to socialism.

Romney isn't going to appoint conservatives to the court.
